The Pirates have unveiled their new City Connect uniform. The team says the Nike uniform embraces the city’s unmistakable black and gold identity, celebrating a unified visual language shared across Pittsburgh’s sports culture. They will be worn for the first time on Friday, April 17, when the Pirates take on the Tampa Bay Rays at PNC Park. The team will wear the new uniforms for every Friday home game throughout the 2026 season. The all-black uniforms and unique gold lettering are intentional. The uniform was made to embody the grit, toughness, and pride that define Pittsburgh and its people. The detailing is full of subtle nods to the region that is so closely connected to its baseball team. The uniform combination will include two New Era hat variations: the primary hat is gold with a black brim, and the secondary is black with a gold brim. Each prominently displays a unique Jolly Roger logo with swords in the background to reflect the spirit of a pirate always ready for battle.
